Application filed September 20, 1886. Serial No. 213,993. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON GOODMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Dayton,

yin the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a certainVnew and useful Improvement in Shoe-Box Labels; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this speciiication.

vMy invention relates to Aimprovements in shoe-box labels; and itconsists of a label with suitable marks and an indicator held to the boxby a knob, said indicator being so attached that it is turned by thesaid knob.

E is a paper label, which may haveanyform of exterior, and has a centralorifice by which, with the aid of the knob D, it is held to the box. Onthis label is marked the quality, size, and price, or other desirablematter.

C is a paper indicator, its chief use being to show whether the boxcontains a pair of shoes or not, and on it may be marked the kind ofleather of which the contained shoes are manufactured. When in. avertical position, it in- 4o dicates that the box contains a pair ofshoes.

l) may be made uponthe label, which would be exposed on turning theindicator.

D is a metallic knob. The inner threaded end passes through orifices ofthe indicator, label, and box, and is then fastened' vby the nut F. Thisknob serves a double use, that of handling the box and turning theindicator, which is secured to the same by the pin S.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- Y A shoe-boxlabel composed of knob B, with pin in its shoulder to engage theindicator C, held on the shaft of said knob, the label E,like wise heldon said shaft, abutting said indicator, and combinedwith a shoe-box,substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aft'lx my signaturein presence of two witnesses. v f
